Additional Context: According to Devex's reporting, USAID spent years developing a large-scale effort to rethink global health supply chains — only for the Trump administration to cancel its requests for proposals in August 2025.

The project would have bundled together nine different contracts, ranging in size from $50 million to $5 billion, and handling everything from condoms to laboratory supplies to HIV/AIDS medicine. It had been in the works for more than half a decade, consuming untold hours of preparatory labor, legal review, and procurement box-checking. While the framework of this mega-project was conceived during President Donald Trump’s first administration, its execution is now one of the highest-profile cancellations of his second administration. There is no clear idea of what will replace it.
